Shaken Science: A disputed diagnosis imprisons parents

March 07, 2016 by Emily Chow
“Doctors and engineers have challenged the science behind Shaken Baby Syndrome for more than a decade, but the disputed diagnosis is still being used to help build murder and abuse cases nationwide. The Washington Post, in an investigation with journalists at Northwestern University’s Medill Justice Project, for the first time identified 200 criminal cases in 47 states that ended when charges were dropped or dismissed, defendants were found not guilty or convictions were overturned. In “Shaken Science,” a series starting online now and in print Sunday, The Post will explore the lives of parents and caregivers who were accused of abuse and later set free and the doctors who once believed in Shaken Baby Syndrome but now say the diagnosis doesn’t hold up.”

I oversaw the design and development of this project. I also helped pitch in with some of the development towards the end.
